There is another amendment being debated. by the way. by Senator SESSIONS. It is another one of the amendments that was denied a vote. It has to do with the entryexit tracking system. which basically means that when you come into the United States with a visayou get a visa to visit the United States for 90 days as a tourist. You want to go to Washington. you want to go to Disney World. you want to go to New York City. and you have 60 to 90 days to visit the United States. When you arrive. we check you in. But we never check you out. So we never know when or if someone has left. As a result. today. of the 12 or 13 or 14 million people who are here illegally. about 40 percent or so of them are people who have overstayed their visas. They didnt cross the border illegally. They came on an airplane. and they overstayed their visa. Everyone says they are in favor of a system that tracks entries and exits so we can crack down on these overstayed visas. Everyone says they are in favor of it. In 2013. the Senate passed a controversial immigration reform bill that I was a part of and we helped craft. and an entryexit tracking system was part of that bill. EveryoneDemocrat. Republican. liberal. conservativesays they are in favor of doing that.
